Disappointed this time.

Sorry to say that I can no longer recommend The Royal Frenchmen. I’ve stayed a few times before and it was great but this time there were several issues at check in, the hotel was not responsive on the hotels.com messaging feature, and the toilet didn’t work in my room. It was disappointing because previous stays were excellent and I hope they can return to their previous standard.

Eloise, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room itself was not that comfortable because the couch looked dirty, but they upgraded us to a 2 bedroom and were in the best location one block from the action of frenchmen street. It was incredible! There was a cute courtyard to relax in and the staff were super helpful and responsive so we would book there again.

Reservation date mistake at hotel

The hotel could not find our reservation. Finally they did a search and found that in their system they had my reservation dates wrong even though they were correct in the hotels.com system and on my confirmation. The hotel staff never wanted to see my confirmation even though I offered multiple times. Finally the staff switched the dates in their system and we eventually got checked in.

Liked the location, walkable to Bourbon St, riverfront and Frenchman St. Disappointed in breakfast, was just bagels and waffles, cereals and coffee, I expected more. Showers were hit and miss, had a couple of cold ones! Air Cond did not work till the last morning we were there. I was given 2 free drink coupons as compensation. Would not stay here again.

Great spot for music and food. Close to a lot of walkable attractions or a short Uber away. Staff were friendly and accommodating, but also gave personalized recommendations for restaurants and music venues that fit my tastes. Thanks for a prime experience and I can't wait to visit again!

If you want to stay near the beating musical heart of New Orleans, stay at the Royal Frenchman. Sizable rooms, nice AC, charm, character and steps to the best live music in the Quarter. Is there a chance you'll be awoken at 3am by a (darn good) trumpeter walking home? Sure, but if that s a dealbreaker maybe NOLA isn't for you.

10/10 Exceptional

I want to discourage everyone from staying at the Royal Frenchman… in order to keep this place to myself! Don’t stay here if want a modern hotel, with many modern amenities, lacking in character and charm. Don’t stay if colorful staff with a passion for the music of New Orleans ( which they bring nightly to the hotel lobby or courtyard) is not your thing. Don’t stay if listening to music wafting in from Frenchman street late into the night seems annoying. But you have a passion for the people, the food, the character and especially the music of New Orleans, then the Royal Frenchman’s your place!
